The awards will ordinarily vest and become exercisable as set out above, subject to the grantee’s continued service and to the extent to which the performance conditions are met. The buy-out awards will vest based on the achievement of the original TT Electronics plc performance targets. The Oxford Instruments plc FY24 LTIP award will vest based on the achievement of the performance conditions which can be found in the Directors’ Remuneration Report in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report. A two-year post-vesting holding period applies to all awards. Dividend equivalents will also be awarded and will accrue for the period from grant to vest and for the holding period (two years after the awards vest). No consideration was paid upon the grants of the awards and consideration of £0.05 per share is due upon the exercise of the awards. The awards were based on an Oxford Instruments plc share price of £21.50.

Full details of the awards, including performance conditions, will be provided in the Directors’ Remuneration Report within the Company’s 2024 Annual Report.
